Can we pleeeeeeease stop putting emoji in the middle or end of sentences like this was a 6-year-old's training reader?
Any time I see a sentence end in that strong-arm emoji my douchebag-o-meter goes way way up.
- dragonwriter 1y agoOf all the things I’ve seen with emoji at the beginning or end of sentences, none of them are training readers for children and most of them are material by and for adults.
- pdntspa 1y agoA lot of early-reading children's books embed pictures in the sentences. It helps kids learn the meaning of words or something.
- theideaofcoffee 1y agoI second this. I feel very strongly that we have to do our best to make technical things more accessible to more people, but this trend of adding emojis to these readmes is just infantilizing. A lot of the content is interesting enough on its own, no need to candy-coat it.
- pmichaud 1y agoProbably not. I think it's the beginning of a major language evolution.

- redmattred 1y ago¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think the cat is out of the bag on this one. I await the return of ascii art though.
- rustystump 1y agoI dont mind them when they are not cringy. Arm flex is cringy.
